Can you hear my words? Maybe hear my thoughts? I’ve heard that you can, no matter where I am or the words I’ve wrought. Whether I say it out loud or I ramble in my head. I wish I knew, Am I talking to myself, Maybe a little light you could shed. Sometimes I’m tooContinue reading “As my thoughts speak”

First time garden and my mistakes
What not to do with your first time garden, and how my garden is going so far!
I’ve been
I’ve loved I’ve lost. I’ve been loved And not. I’ve been played and used. I’ve been a tool and made a fool. But for all I have given, And all I’ve been tossed, I still can’t give a price for what love costs. ~A
Golden shores
I sit on the edge Dipping my toes in the vast unknown and uncertainty. I hear the waves of doubt as they crash against the sand on the golden shores, My comfort zone. Sometimes my warm, golden shores are clouded by guilt, pain, and harsh words, But the heat of the setting sun warms myContinue reading “Golden shores”

I will smile amidst thunder I will laugh in the face of lighting For I am not weak, and IContinue reading “I will dance”
I am not sh*t
If for some reason you have something against the word in the title, this poem probably isn’t for you! I am not the ground beneath the shit I am not the shit itself I am not the shovel for shit I am not the wheelbarrow that holds it I am not the person who throwsContinue reading “I am not sh*t”
It only takes a second…
The harshness of words last longer than the second it takes to say. The harshness of words can last a lifetime, and hurt just as bad, years later, as it did the second you heard them. Let your words be remembered as warm and loving instead. Let that memory be encouraging, rather than demeaning. TheContinue reading “It only takes a second…”
When you love
The truest love, is when A hug never feels tight enough A kiss never long enough Conversations feel too short Your heart feels the calmest it’s ever been Your mind is at ease. The truest love makes you wish that time stood still That you could live in that love infinitely And you would doContinue reading “When you love”
